Default new to the 350Z, wheres VTEC?

my former car was an RSX- Type S. very nice, loved VTEC. but in the end it had to go. i woke up one day to find the Z here and my car gone. my Type S pulled 247whp. my dad got rid of it becuz i was an agressive driver and the car was too fast. need i mention i have no points on my liecense and has been that way since i have been driving.

ok well, he isnt letting me do anything to this car. i work at a performance shop around here in FL that has a chassis/ dynojet, and what i am looking for are performance mods that wont be very noticebale. and quite exhaust similar to my brother Nismo one and an intake that looks close to stock or more like the nismo. HEADERS- for sure. Unichip- For sure.

so basically what is a quite exhaust and stock looking intake?

o yeh did i mention he bought me an Auto to reduce my agressiveness? yeh well, i got the point dad. seriosuly losing the feeling of a 6sp feels like i lost a lung. it doesnt even feel right being in the car without it.

Borla dual exhaust looks pretty similar to stock and gives nice gains.

Must suck to be punished by your daddy buy him buying you an auto 350z. Personally, if I was your dad, I would just have b*tch slapped you instaed of buying you a new car, but I am only 23 and have a lot of time to think about how I will punish my kid.....

Oh man, welcome to the board.

I hope you brought your Nomex suit, because as I'm sure you expected, you're gonna get flamed.
